So-so week

I think this may be a rambling of sorts :-)  I haven't posted for a week - well, I tried on Tuesday but my work computer froze up and it didn't take - bum 'cause it was a great post!  This has been a so-so week.  Nothing too exciting or too boring.  One of those "coasting" through the days - kind of week.  I have been thinking a lot on health and wellness recently.  I am in my early 40s and want to lead a healthy second half of my life.  I know everything that I should be doing and I am ready to do the doing!

Wellness

Sometimes I get stuck in a rut of living.  Get up, get ready, go to work, work, go home, eat dinner, laundry or some other task, go to bed and start the cycle all over again.  I have been thinking about wellness recently.  Yes, it has to do with health, our bodies, eating, exercising...but it also deals with our mental and emotional states; how we feel about ourselves and others.  I have decided that at this time I am not well.  I need to get well.  I am not sure how to do so; however, I have great support and am going to start looking into getting well :-)  I have a feeling that this will be a process.  I also believe that the process will be as healing as the end result :-)

Remodel, Take 3

Yahoo!  Houston we have a toilet!!  We have been sleeping at our house since Saturday night.  What joy :-)  Again, thank you to my sister and brother-in-law for "volunteering" to tackle this job that has turned into a whole bunch of jobs rolled into one.

Trying to move forward

{Large sigh} It has been almost a year since the divorce was finalized.  Moving forward, right?  Definitely trying to do so.  I am still included in a large loan that is no longer mine.  Having to contact and converse with someone you are trying to "forget" is very trying on the system.  However, it is almost a done deal.  A bit of mail correspondence, signing a document or two and returning them.  I am looking to that 1 year anniversary as the closing of a book (not just a chapter).  I am ready to start a whole new novel :-)

Remodel, Take 2

We are still amidst the remodel of the bathroom. We ran into a couple of glitches. Moving a window, having a plumber fix a leaking crack in the mainstack and switching out all of the plumbing pipe. My brother-in-law is a trooper as he is the main man for this job! Currently we are without toilet and water; however, the end is a glimmer of hope which grows stronger each day :-) I must admit, with the remodel, being displaced and without the plumbing, I am a bit discombobulated. I am anxiously awaiting the final product and know it will be worth the time, discomfort and displacement.

Challenges of Remodeling

Wow - Kudos to my Brother-in-law and sister!  I can take minimal credit for the work in progress of my bathroom remodel.

We have run into a few "snafu's"; however, Matt takes them in stride :-)

Old homes tend to hide things below the surface, as we found out this weekend.  I am grateful to the family I have that pitches in.  Thank you sooooo much for your help!

I am excited to have the finished product - although it is in the not so near future :-)

On The Go

Life is a constant whirlwind. No complaints, just observations. Every evening this week has something on the books. Pick up sod, take elderly friend to the grocery store, take daughter to appointment across town, help elderly friend in home, pick up items for remodel – whew. And that is just the weekday evenings. Luckily the weather is still cooperating. I am so glad to have the health and energy to be on the go. Getting healthier is on the books, too. However, that is another post :-)
